This publication contains a mathematical-physical approach for a new interpretation of the atom and its structure. The basis for this is, on the one hand, the unipolar induction according to Michael Faraday (1791-1867), which has proven itself in practice, and, on the other hand, the various experiments in classical physics that led to the concept of the atom. Further basis for this elaboration are the essays: ''The reinterpretation of the 'Maxwell equations'[1]'', ''The reinterpretation of the Einstein de Haas experiment[2]'' and ''The reinterpretation of the Stern Gerlach experiment[3 ]''. These fundamentals, in combination with the calculation rules of vector analysis, differential calculus and analysis, show a new interpretation of the atom. The unipolar induction according to Michael Faraday (1791-1867) results in a generally valid calculation approach for the structure and functioning of an atom. An alternative approach to calculating the weak and strong nuclear force is also shown, which provides a common mathematical-physical basis for bringing together all nuclear forces. This also makes it possible to see how the atomic nucleus experiences stabilization.Another innovation is the combination of waves and particles through the presented model.This all points to an interpretation of the atom as a vortex structure within a medium. This paper also shows approaches to calculating these vortex structures.This elaboration has no claim to accuracy. Logical connections are created based on mathematical and physical principles, which lead to the conclusions in this essay. These conclusions are fundamentally based on classical physics.
